Mexican Gothic
Mexican Gothic

Chilling mystery in opulent, eerie 1950s Mexico.

"Mexican Gothic" is the kind of story that seizes you with its rich atmosphere and a creeping sense of dread. If you're into tales where a house is as much a character as the people within its walls, you'll find this mansion in the mist-clad Mexican mountains utterly captivating. Noemi, the fearless and fashionable protagonist, will lead you through a labyrinth of family secrets and dark histories, ensuring you remain spellbound until the final page.

Description

After receiving a frantic letter from her newly-wed cousin begging for someone to save her from a mysterious doom, Noemí Taboada heads to High Place, a distant house in the Mexican countryside. She’s not sure what she will find—her cousin’s husband, a handsome Englishman, is a stranger, and Noemí knows little about the region. Noemí is also an unlikely rescuer: She’s a glamorous debutante, and her chic gowns and perfect red lipstick are more suited for cocktail parties than amateur sleuthing. But she’s also tough and smart, with an indomitable will, and she is not afraid: Not of her cousin’s new husband, who is both menacing and alluring; not of his father, the ancient patriarch who seems to be fascinated by Noemí; and not even of the house itself, which begins to invade Noemí’s dreams with visions of blood and doom. Her only ally in this inhospitable abode is the family’s youngest son. Shy and gentle, he seems to want to help Noemí, but might also be hiding dark knowledge of his family’s past. For there are many secrets behind the walls of High Place. The family’s once colossal wealth and faded mining empire kept them from prying eyes, but as Noemí digs deeper she unearths stories of violence and madness. And Noemí, mesmerized by the terrifying yet seductive world
